Better late than never, and because it's still January, there's still time to make top/flop 2023 and present all the new things coming in 2024, in video format!
With our guests Philippe, Laurian and Guillaume, we review all the new Italian products for 2023 and 2024.

And you, what's your favorite model of 2023 and the one you're most looking forward to in 2024?
I'd say the Granturismo V6, having tested it myself, but I'm disappointed by the Purosangue with its central pillar, when in fact it's antagonistic doors (the best scheme being those on the Mazda RX8, which made it immortal in more ways than one).
2024 is a bad year, as it heralds the end of the prodigious Panda 4×4 and the invasion of Suzuki into mountainous regions across France (justified and deserved).
My favorite car of 2023 is the Alfa Roméro 33 stradale , it's incredible !
As far as the new Italian models for 2023 are concerned, I can only express my feelings based on the images I've seen on the net and the reviews that have been given, as I haven't physically seen any of them. If there was to be a flop, it would be the 600 for me. I find the design unattractive, with the bottom of the front bumper lacking in creativity (and that trapezoid-shaped hole??). In short, I find the lines heavy, the design banal, and I'm afraid it will only be sold in Italy... just like the future Ypsilon. As for the top, the aficionado in me will choose the Purosangue! Perfectly balanced dimensions for its category, pure yet gently aggressive desing + offered with the in-house V12 = a huge success for me! While I'm delighted with this 33 Stradale, I can't think of a single thing that's stunned me about its presentation...
The Ferrari Purosangue and the Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale approach perfection. They are masterpieces.
I'm not sure what the Fiat 600 brings to the table compared to the 500X.
The forthcoming Lancia Ypsilon may be of interest, and we'll have to wait and see for the Milano and the new Panda.
This overview is very interesting, the only problem is the sound, which makes the video difficult to follow.
It's something I noticed in post-production, the next time I invest in tie microphones.
I listened to the first 3 minutes, then stopped: the sound was inaudible.
can you write about it?
Does the Ferrari have a Puretech?
